Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil | Korean Hydrating Waterproof Makeup Remover

I have tried and liked or hated oil cleansers. They are either too oily or too thick and weird. I dislike DHC- too oily and I love Epicutis- beautiful but VERY expensive. This is th perfect happy medium oil cleanser- i mean absolutely perfect. It is rich enough to feel nice on the skin but not too thick where i feel like im oiling a veg to grill. This has a VERY light leather which is perfect for combo and sesnitive skin becuase the foaming agent can be irritating -- this is not at all irritating. There is a frgrance which is very soft and not obnoxious at all. When I smelled this i thought my face would turn pink instantly- it didnt! Im in absolute love with this cleasner. I did pair it with their foaming cleasner after and that was nice, but the star of this show is absolutely the consistnecy of this oil cleasner-- divine!!!!

Sulwhasoo is my absolute favorite Korean skincare brand. I've tried a lot of their products, but never tried the Gentle Cleansing Oil. A couple months ago, I ordered it to give it a try. This is a 1.7 ounce bottle with a pump. It is designed to gently and deeply cleanse and remove oil based products including waterproof makeup - which it works great for. It is formulated with nice antioxidant ingredients. In running it through an ingredient analysis, it came back with the following: contains fragrance and oil, but is free of alcohol, silicones, sulfates, and parabens. Of all the Sulwhasoo products I've tried, this one has the lightest scent. I love how foamy this face cleanser gets. It is easy to use and I love using my booster pro cleanse attachment with it. This leaves my face feeling so soft and clean without feeling dehydrated and tight. My skin looks very nourished after using. I use this on days that I wear makeup, and use the cleansing wash in conjunction. I have had no adverse reactions to it and absolutely love the quality. While Sulwhasoo is a luxury skincare brand, this travel size bottle is a great value if you're wanting to try it without a larger investment. A little goes a long way and it's going to last me a long time!

It doesn't strip your skin and it hydrates very well, but I find it has an off-putting citrusy smell. Might be too much fragrance for sensitive folks.

Sulwhasoo's gentle cleansing oil is my HG first cleanse. I've tried many cleansing balms and cleansing oils, and nothing else is as mild and effective as this product. It's thin and lightweight, but it lifts the makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurites from my skin better than anything else I've tried. I use 1-2 pumps and massge onto my face, then add a bit of water from damp hands and massage again to emulsify, then rinse and proceed to 2nd cleanse. Skin is never stripped or dry, and it rinses clean. The 50mL bottle lasts me about 6 weeks to 2 months if used daily, and I always have one around for travel. The pump is high grade, even on the small bottle (as you'd expect from Sulwhasoo), and it comes with a cuff to lock the pump as needed, so no spills. Can't be without it!

I think I might have tried just about every cleansing oil ever produced. That's not an exaggeration. As a woman in her 50's, I remember when cleansing oils first came into consciousness for Americans and that's when I jumped on... like 20 years ago! I've tried ones from Japan, Korea, American made ones... this one by the Sulwhasoo is in the top 10%, easily. What makes for a great cleansing oil is first of all, the slippy feel. Some are just too thin, some are so thick it's like putting cooking oil one. This one has just the right balance so it's just a pleasure to use. It removes eye makeup without any eye sting. And it leaves your skin soft and moisturized, so even if you don't have time for a second cleanser, this will do. Of course, any Sulwhasoo is a luxury purchase. But I really enjoy pampering myself and I feel like sometimes you need to spend on luxury skincare, because that pampering feeling also has value. :) I highly recommend this one, it's a special cleansing oil.

I’ve heard so much about Sulwhasoo skincare, and I’ve always wanted to try it. I found this mini Gentle Cleansing Oil and thought it would be the perfect way to dip my toe in. I’m so glad I did! The oil has a light gray tint and a silky, lightweight texture that spreads easily and doesn't feel too thick or heavy. It dissolves my makeup effortlessly, and it feels so soothing as it glides across my skin that I kept massaging it in longer than I needed to. It has a light, subtle fragrance that’s really pleasant, and the whole experience feels like a little spa moment. After rinsing, my skin felt soft and comfortable, and I had zero irritation the next day. For how well it performs, it’s a great value, and I can definitely see myself purchasing a larger size when this runs out as well as testing the rest of the line.

It was average. Worked mostly on makeup, but had no smell, which is weird for a cleanser. I enjoy the smells of beauty products.

This gentle facial cleansing oil is exactly what our face needs I am totally impressed by how gentle but deeply it cleans and leaves my skin looking so refreshed and refined and just gorgeous

Excellent cleansing oil. Light weight with a silky texture. Removes makeup plus all of the day's residue in a single wipe. Just finish with Sulwasoo cream cleanser for a truly thorough and pleasurable, double-cleanse.

I love the feeling of this oil on my skin and cleaning proprieties, the orange flower scent is a bit overpowering ( beeing very sensitive to scents) , having a mixed skin type, but it caused me few minor skin breakouts, so it does suit for my skin type.

This smells amazing! The reason for my meh review is the size/cost comparison. Its a long neck pump design which makes it hard to control the distribution and its very , very watery. I wouldn't say its an oil. The bottle is only 30ml and almost twenty bucks?! I'll bet it will only last me a week or 2 at best. For this reason I won't purchase again.

Hilariously small, and it leaked so I lost some product. Not sure if it's worth the price yet, I thought I would try the small size before committing to the full bottle, but damn that's nothing for 18CAD.

Worked well but very tiny size so it doesn’t last very long.
